    <title><![CDATA[Updates on the story "Be Thankful For: Clay Aiken Finally Coming Out" on Celebuzz]]></title>
    <description><![CDATA[<p>Just like fellow singer <strong>Lance Bass</strong>, <em>American Idol</em>'s <strong>Clay Aiken </strong>chose <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/clay-aiken-paid-bargain-basement-s50441/" target="_blank"><em>People</em> magazine</a> as the forum in which he would reveal his true sexuality to the world.</p>
<p>Two months ago, the singer came clean to his friends, family and fans with a secret that he had been holding inside for years. The cover read, "<a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/clay-aiken-gay-really-s49621/" target="_blank">Yes, I'm Gay</a>," and the exclusive interview showed a side of Clay that no one had really seen before.</p>
<p>His main reason for coming out was <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/clay-aiken-openly-gay-dad-s49791/" target="_blank">to be honest with his newborn son</a>. Whatever the reason, it's <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/clay-aiken-proud-papa-s37701/" target="_blank">refreshing and heart-warming</a> to see someone rise against the odds and be brave enough to take the risk of coming out, especially in <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/steven-spielberg-donates-protect-gay-s49601/" target="_blank">a country so divided</a> on the issue.</p>
<p>We're proud of you, Clay!</p>]]></description>

	      <description><![CDATA[Aiken's fans, the fanatical Claymates, have always ferociously defended Clay's "heterosexuality" and Clay's aware that this might cause some sort of fiery revolution down at Jo Ann Fabrics. He says that they need to "know that I've never intended to lie to anybody at all. ... But if they leave, I don't want them to leave hating me." Good luck with that. Hell hath no fury like a Beanie Baby collector scorned!]]></description>
